Haas Hall Academy is a small, comprehensive institution promoting an accelerated college preparatory curriculum and enrolling scholars in grades 7 through 12. It is the state’s only open enrollment charter high school focusing on rigor and high academic standards.

Haas Hall Academy is accredited by AdvancED and the Arkansas Department of Education. Haas Hall Academy is the #1 ranked public high school in Arkansas for 12 consecutive years, according to U.S. News & World Report.

As a microcosm of a university, Haas Hall Academy’s academic schedule is based on a semester block system mirroring the higher educational experience.

All scholars are required to attend four 90-minute blocks per day, five days a week. Enrolling in four credits in the fall and four in the spring, scholars complete an entire calendar year of each course in only one semester. Classes at Haas Hall Academy are mixed age, and scholars are placed into classes based on their achievement rather than their grade level.  

A minimum of 22 credits are required to graduate in Arkansas, but most Haas Hall Scholars will graduate with over 32 credits.   
 
All scholars at Haas Hall Academy experience an accelerated curriculum that goes into greater depth than is normally found in similar high school courses. Additionally, AP® classes are available to all scholars.
